Macintosh Internet Poker New Developments

CompatiblePoker.com has released what they think Macintosh Poker players can expect to see in the future in regards to Macintosh internet poker rooms. The two big issues they see facing new Mac poker rooms are politics and users installing windows.

No download versions might become more and more popular. That layer of compatibility for Macintosh internet poker players will see a thriving impact on the market says Compatiblepoker.com. Places like Pacific Poker (www.MacPacificPoker.com) which got into the market early will see continued growth because of loyal customers and instant cash bonuses.

The reasoning behind the growth of Macintosh compatible Java poker rooms is political and monetary issues says www.Compatiblepoker.com (a large provider in Mac poker information). Political debate in the next year might become very fierce and poker rooms are wary of the issues. Because the majority of Macintosh users are from the USA, poker rooms might decline in building a Mac specific poker room. Instead, they might opt out and go for the Java route which would satisfy a larger target market.

The issues stated by CompatiblePoker were that we would see more sites coming to the Mac, just not natively. There has been a large abundance of popular poker rooms which have contacted CompatiblePoker.com asking them about their concerns with the Mac market.

More users are also installing Windows on their Mac which is becoming more readily available with Intel Macs, Parallels, and other virtualization methods. This issue was also addressed their press release which might hinder the growth of Mac poker rooms.

Party Poker which has all the power and resources of any poker rooms has also seemed to decline the idea of a native Mac software. “The idea of a downloadable Mac poker client at Party Poker has been tossed around for years,” says a forum member. CompatiblePoker.com believes that with the latest developments in Mac/Windows compatibility and politics that only Java software will be in the future. (www.CompatiblePoker.com)
